Space Tourists

This documentary deals with an issue that many still find hard to believe is possible.Over 40 years ago man first went into space.

Ever since ordinary people have dreamt of getting there themselves. But after several false starts, a group of space obsessed entrepreneurs believe the first commercial flights into the final frontier are only a few years away.

Now Rutan and Virgin Group founder Sir Richard Branson have formed a partnership to build the next generation of craft capable of taking several passengers.

Branson’s new company, Virgin Galactic, is already selling return tickets to space for $200,000. And even though the new craft that will take the first space tourists hasn’t yet been built, the company has taken $10 million in deposits.
